Post-course Graduate Employment Support


"We hold the view that a complete Close Protection Operator should have both tactical and professional pre-hospital medical competencies to honestly fulfil their Client's expectations.

This is based on the simple observation that a Client legitimately expects to stay alive in your presence, being protected from any threat, be it an attack, accident or personal medical emergency"

- Adv Timm Smith, CEO Ronin SA, circa 2001

Employer Synergy

"Attalus Protection Services provide security personnel to mainly the UK market.

We are seeing a drop in the standard of Close Protection Officers which both ourselves and our clients require.

However, the reputation and professionalism of the Ronin South Africa (SA) graduates which we have employed, stands apart from those of all other training providers by a clear margin.

We would like to develop a relationship to recruit Ronin SA graduates.

Thank you for your employers login which allows us access to your database to recruit and to post jobs to your graduates directly.

It would be good to meet, please let me know when it will be convenient when you are in Sweden, so we can develop things further."  

- P Williamson (CEO Attalus Protection Services), July 2018
